Excellent wing position and look back. Really nice. Thank you for sharing.

Nice take -off image.
Just wish she wasn't slightly angled away from us.
I like the spalsh behind her.
I like this crop but could see a version as a pano with less on top and more on the LHS,

Perfect pose on this merganser. The splashing water is nice touch.

Hi Jim,
Love the take off pose you captured with the churning water. Nice!

[Geoff Newhouse]

I was think along the lines of Gail's suggestions above. More of a pano crop and telling the bird to look at you a bit more :)

Great take off composition. Nice work Jim.

Very nice Jim. Great take-off pose and I like how we can see the legs below the water surface. Lovely detail and nice POV.
